Chapter 909: Explanation
"The general manager of the Jiangxi march is under General Xiang Zhen, and Xiao Jing has seen the general in the army." Xiao Jing clenched his hands into fists and slammed them to the ground. He didn't hear Liu Ruyan's reaction above for a long time, he raised his head a little sneeringly, but saw Liu Ruyan looking at him coldly, Rao is Xiao Jing is a person who has been through the sea for a long time, and he still couldn't help but shiver when Liu Ruyan looked at him like this.
Liu Ruyan is not an ordinary person.
Even if you don't look at her identity as Li Ze's wife, her own outstanding achievements alone are enough to be proud of most generals in the world, especially if she is still a woman, it is even rarer.
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there is no shortage of women as officials, but it is really extremely rare for a female general to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
However, in this world, no one criticized Li Ze's nepotism because of this, it was really because Liu Ruyan really deserved it. Whether it was escorting the Tang Emperor from Chang'an to the north to hunt, or breaking Zhu Youzhen in Luzhou, any one can be used as a teaching material for military generals and a classic example.
"Let's talk about it, Xiang Zhen sent you, didn't he just plan to give me an explanation?" Fortunately, Liu Ruyan did not refuse people thousands of miles away, and finally gave him a chance to speak, which made Xiao Jing feel a little less pressure.
Coughing lightly, Xiao Jing glanced at Yang Mi and Gong Yunda, who were sitting on the left and right under Liu Ruyan, these two were also a party candidate back then, but now, they can only be aggrieved by Liu Ruyan's left and right to become a marching staff.
It's no wonder that Dashuai wants to start anew, if Li Ze is allowed to control the overall situation, then there is a probability of more than ninety percent for the Xiang family in the future, and he will end up with the same fate as Yang Mi and Gong Yunda.
Don't you see those feudal officials who have submitted to Li Ze, how many of them can still stand on the cusp of this era? Not a single one. Either like Yang Mi and Gong Yunda, or like Gao Lei and others, they eat in Wuyi and wait for death, when a person who doesn't know the so-called politics, in fact, he is not a fart.
If people like Xiang Xun can't hold the power of life and death and live happily, how can people like them who follow Xiang Xun be able to dominate the world and go down in history?
"General, my Lingnan army has been repairing in Jiangxi, and there was no imperial edict, so I categorically did not dare to enter the Eyue region at will, and Xiang Shuai has always been strict with Xiang Zhi." Xiao Jingdao: "It's just that some time ago, I heard that the general's attack on Eyue was frustrated, Liu Xinda was very arrogant, after all, the general manager was young and vigorous, and he was eager to serve the country, for fear that the war in Eyue would not go well, which would affect the plan of the imperial army to attack the pseudo-Liang, so he made his own decision and led the army into Eyue. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Jing glanced at Liu Ruyan and saw that the other party's face was still as cold as frost, while Yang Mi and Gong Yunda sneered.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued: "After entering Eyue, I didn't want to have a conflict with General Qian Biaoqian's department. The general also knew that those rough men in the army were prone to conflict if they disagreed, so there were some dirty things on both sides, but after the general manager learned of the incident, he immediately punished the officers involved, and released all General Qian's belongings. ”
"Since you know that it is not appropriate, why did Xiang Zhen not withdraw from Eyue, but continued to march after occupying Dazhi in a big way?" Liu Ruyan said coldly.
"General, after my family Xiang Shuai knew about this, it was already a boat, since the army moved, if it retreated like this, it would inevitably chill the soldiers' hearts to serve the country, so the commander quickly sent me over to explain the matter to the general. I only hope that the general will have a large number of people, not to blame the general manager, and to give the general manager a chance to make meritorious contributions. Xiao Jing clenched his fists again and shook deeply.
"Hehe, if I don't give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, I will be a little chicken belly!" Liu Ruyan laughed.
"The general is serious." Xiao Jingdao: "It's just that the general has been attacking Eyue for a long time, and the soldiers are also very tired when they think about it." The city of Ezhou is high and steep, and it is extremely difficult to fight, and there is always more strength and more certainty. Our Lingnan Army is willing to accept the unified command of the general, and as long as it is attacking Ezhou City, our Lingnan Army is willing to be the vanguard. We are willing to take Ezhou City for the general as a journey of reparation for our Lingnan Army. ”
Looking at Xiao Jing, who was talking eloquently, Liu Ruyan said lightly: "Since you are willing to follow my orders, why didn't Xiang Zhen come to see me in person?" Am I not worthy of his visit? Or are you afraid that I will cut him with a knife? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jing's hairs stood up all of a sudden. Liu Ruyan, this is really!
If Xiang Zhen doesn't come, to a large extent, I'm afraid that Liu Ruyan really lifted the table and buttoned him up, if he really wants to buckle up, what can he do? Do you turn your face immediately? Now is not the time.
"I was ordered by the imperial court to attack Eyue, and the Lingnan Army was not ordered to enter the Eyue area, and it was a big taboo to move across the region without an edict, and I think Xiang Zhen will not understand this." Liu Ruyan leaned forward and said coldly: "Of course, as you said, he may really have a heart to serve the country and want to help me, but he didn't think about it." ”
"Exactly, exactly!" Xiao Jing said continuously.
"Okay, then I won't pursue the sin of cross-regional troop transfer, since I'm here, then let's come!" Liu Ruyan said: "But I am still the supreme commander of the war in this Eyue region, since the Lingnan Army claims to be willing to obey my command, then five days later, I will convene the generals of all departments here to discuss the attack on Ezhou, you go back and tell Xiang Zhen, let him attend the meeting on time." If you don't come, you will not obey the generals, and you will blame me for being unkind. ”
Xiao Jing hesitated slightly.
"What? Xiao joined the army, did the general manager have the heart to serve the country, or did you have other plans? Liu Ruyan sat up straight: "It's best not to let me have other suspicions, if he doesn't come, I can regard him as a rebellion, then don't blame me for waving my army to attack." ”
"Manager Xiang will definitely go to the meeting on time!" Xiao Jingyi gritted his teeth and said.
"That's very good, you go!" Liu Ruyan waved his hand.
"Retire!" Xiao Jing saluted again, cautiously took a few steps back, and then turned around and strode out the door.
Liu Ruyan looked at Yang Mi and Gong Yunda, "What do you two think?" ”
Gong Yunda said: "General, I'm afraid that this Xiang Zhen is not here to fight Eyue at all, but he will not be afraid when he sees Eyue, and we are now concentrating our forces in Ezhou City, so he took advantage of the situation to grab the territory." Now that he occupies Daye, Yangxin and other places, the army is still continuing to march in the direction of Ezhou City, and when we completely take Ezhou City, will it be difficult to drive them away? ”
"I think so." Yang Mi said: "General, now Ezhou City is not a remote situation, but the real main battlefield is in Henan, Luoyang, Guanzhong, and Chang'an. When we take Eyue, our main force is also going to turn to attack the Zhongwu region, here and now, it is Li Xiang, I am afraid and unwilling to turn against Xiang Xun and use the sword in vain, once the conflict, no matter what the victory or defeat, will always affect the situation on the main battlefield. They are afraid that it is precisely because of this that they are so bold! ”
Seeing that Liu Ruyan was silent, Yang Mi continued: "So the lower officials feel that they must not be tolerated for this kind of behavior, but must force them to withdraw." ”
"Since they are here, they will never retreat because I give an order, as you said, they see that we will not do anything to them now!" Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "I'm wondering, in ten days, will Xiang Zhen appear here?" If he did show up here, I really couldn't figure it out. ”
"I'm afraid he won't come at all." Gong Yunda said. "If he really comes, the general can order him to storm Ezhou City, with the equipment of our army, the combat effectiveness, Ezhou City is a little helpless, Xiang Zhen under the command of the Lingnan Army, can not be compared with us, attacking Ezhou City, will inevitably lose troops and generals, such a thing, how can he do it?"
"If this Xiang Zhen is really a good man, and he really comes, the general can order him to attack Ezhou City as Gong Sima intended, which is also an opportunity to weaken them. Let this guy who doesn't know anything have a good taste of Liu Xinda's fist, and after being beaten up, he will see what he has to say! Yang Mi said with a smile.
In the drizzling rain, Xiang Zhen was wearing a robe, wearing a hat, riding a horse and moving forward slowly, beside him, it was Xiao Jing who rushed back from the fast horse.
"Go, how can you not go?" Xiang Zhen looked up to the sky and laughed: "You have probed me to the bottom here, and they will not turn against us at this time." Hahaha, Liu Xinda, he is really a brave general, this person will be used by us in the future, but we can rely on it. ”
"Look at the preparation of the Tang Army, but it is preparing to flood Ezhou City, this trick is used, no matter how brave Liu Xinda is, it is impossible to do it, and now, we have become his last straw." Xiao Jing said with a smile.
"Is Liu Xinda ready over there?" Xiang Zhen asked.
"It's ready." Xiao Jing smiled: "I'm waiting for you to wave your army to attack!" ”
Xiang Zhen laughed: "Great, let Tang Jun have a good look at the style of our Lingnan Army." Eh, Xiao joins the army, tell me, if I take Liu Xinda to see Liu Ruyan together, will this woman be so angry that she vomits blood on the spot? ”
"Right now, Xia Guan doesn't feel the need to provoke this woman." Xiao Jing said with a smile: "No matter how powerful Liu Ruyan is, she is still a woman after all, if she starts to be ruthless, she really does something irrational, but it will not be beautiful." ”
"No, no, no, this woman won't be irrational." Xiang Zhen smiled: "I really want to see her expression at that time, and I think it's very interesting when I think about it!" ”
